Shay, the youthful Galahad twir ler, won his second league contest last evening, • giving the Reading tossers their first taste of defeat for the season. The railroad team ap peared too confident after having started the season wit,h three straight triumphs. Only once did Shay show signs of weakening, when ; the losers bunched hits for a total of j three runs. The "Green Sox" went right after the game from the start, and secured a lead that Manager Pressler's nine could not overcome. The losing team played rather list less ball the first three innings and when they finally awoke, the game was lost. In addition to tossing superb ball, the youthful Shay knocked out three timely hits, two of which went for two sacks. On the first double two runs crossed the pan. His final double scored another run that won the game. It is likely that the lad will be given a chance to do some more hitting, by being placed in the outfield when he is not in the box for Manager Fritz. In the second inning "Bill" Reiff goL the first of his trio of hits. Mil ler sacriced. Gilbert knocked out a neat single. Shay's hit scored ReifE and Gilbert. T'he Galahads repeated the trick in the next session. Co baugh got a two-bagger. Fortna went to first on an error, Cobaugh going to third. Reiff drove in both runners with a clean single. The Reading bunch pulled itself together in the fifth frame, counting a trio of tallies. With Piatt retired, W. Euker tripled; McCurdy drove] out a double that scored Euker. Shartle followed with another tJTree! bagger that sent McCurdy across the rubber. On Levan's sacrice fly, Shartle tallied. The "Knights" scored their win ning run in the sixth when Wingard doubled. Gilbert made an infield hit, and F' y'.s double scored the decid ing lally. In the final half, the losers tried hard to tie the score. Shartle got a life on Holand's error. Gilbert had two passed balls, and Shartle landed on third. The latter scored when Levan lifted a sacrifice fly to deep center. To-night the Rosewoods lineup against Hick-A- Fhrift. To-morrow evening, the post poned contest of Monday will be played by the Galahad and Rose 'Vsod tossers. The lineup and mmary: READING AB. R. H. O. A. E. I SV.

STAR ATHLETES PICKED FOR MEET Tech Boys Will Do Their Best to Bepeat Victory of Last Year Sixteen members of the Tech track team will leave Friday afternoon at 2.4 7 for Pittsburgh, where they -.vill participate in the twelfth annual intercollegiate and interscholastic field and track meet held under the auspices of the University of Pitts burgh. The event will begin Satur day at 12.30 at Schenley Oval. Last year Tech sent a team to the Pitt meet for the first time, and the Maroon lads ran away with thp pick of the teams from Western Pennsylvania, as well as those from Ohio. A majority of the athletes are members of the freshman and sophomore classes, and while the squad is not as well-balanced as last season, Tech stands good chances because of the heavy scoring power of several bright, particular stars in the squad. Carl Beck, who proved his worth at Franklin Field several weeks ago, is entered in eleven out of the twen ty-five events. While time will make it impossible for him to take a whirl at all of them, yet if given a chance, it is likely that he could land a place in each one of the eleven events in which he has been entered. While Beck is the bright spot in the list of athletes whom Coach Hill hi.s groomed to bring home the honors, supporting the Tech sophomore are a number of clever athletes who are not to be denied. The entire squad that will make the trip includes C. Beck, J. Beck, W. Keane, Wilsbach, Garrett, Ma lick, Hoffsommer, Sparrow, Boyer, Heagy, Ebner, Oscar Miller, Hinkle, Shue, Ebert and Doyle. The entries: 100-yard dash—C. Beck, Garrett, Wilsbach. Malick and Miller. 220-yard dash—entries same as the century. 4 10-yard dash —C. Beck, Malick, Garrett, Ebner, Miller, Hoffsommer.

'Fitz,' Soon to Meet 'Fritz,' Greets Old Tech Friends George William Fltzpatrick, for three years a tackle on the Tech football team, best high jumper In the school for a like number of years and champion wrestler In the institution, is home from Camp Wright on a short furlough. "Fitz" left the city as a member of the Governor's Troop and has been stationed the entire winter at Camp Hancock. Recently they were moved north, and rumor has it that, with the other members of the local troop, "Fitz" will soon be going to meet "Fritz." Today "Gawge" Is circulating among his friends, many of whom are still numbered among the Tech High School students. At noon to day he clasped the hands of his for mer schoolmates.. He graduated last spring and at once enlisted, j Capital City Sports || "Bobby" Clark, born and raised in Newport, was the hero yesterday at Steelton's game with the P. and R. It. Coppers from Philadelphia, which closed with the score handcuffed, 10-10. Young Clark had experience with Duncannon in the Dauphin- Perry League and with the# New York State L.eague since he quit school at Susquehanna University. He made good yesterday for Man ager Cockil! with an almighty wal lop that cleared left field fence by thirty feet, sailing over the score board. It was a real haymaker, the longest hit made on the Steelton grounds, and it will be a good while before anyone smites a longer thrust. Pierce was tattooed by the Philadelphia cops like honest voters in a Philadelphia election riot. Pierce, however, is troubled with in cipient pleurisy and cannot show his best at this stage. Sam (Red) Crane, the shortstop, who learned baseball on the lOnola lots, has been dubbed by big leaguers who are watching him In Atlanta as "the greatest shortstop in the game, the equal of Maranville or Bancroft." lted's trouble has been weak hitting. He was let go hy Washington, the Athletics and Cincinnati, but per haps now he'll be a $20,(100 beauty. "Hello, is this the Telegraph Sporting Editor?" "Yoii bet, who's this?" "Jimmy Sheckard, know me?" "Sure, nuff, why don't you go back and help Brooklyn?" Oh, I thought I was through with the big league; been living quietly down here at my home in Columbia. But I thought I would tell you that 1 may take an other swing at baseball, this time over in the trenches. I have an of fer to go over for the Government and help get the merry pastime in swing, train the boys and all that. Expect to go In a week or so. So long."

Depot The contractor in charge of the work at the ordnance depot, here, was kept busy last night when 196 work men arrived on the grounds, coming from New York City, and no prep aration had been made for the hous ing of the men for the night. The men arrived at 5 o'clock and were at once rushed to the commissary, where they were given their first meal. Having no arrangements made for sleeping quarters, carpenters were hurried to the fair grounds at the other end of town, by automobiles, likewise lumber was rusned to the scene and the new men were guaran teed that Inside of four hours" time bunks would be erected in the large frame exhibition building, which Is They all want it once they've tried MOER-LO.

He says that he prayed to be allowed to make that catch, and he did, after which he began to be converted. Right Field er Sunday, of Mill No. 1, makes no claims for help of this kind, but, nevertheless, he nabbed a tricky drive yesterday and then, unassisted, raced to second and completed a double play. It was the best all around pitching of the season and the game was never dull. The score: BLAST FURNACE R. H. O. A. E.

GOVERNOR ASKS CHIEFS TO WORK Tells Heads of Departments of the State Government to Line Up For Denny O'Neil All heads of departments of the state government in the city to-day were summoned to Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh's office and told by the Governor without waste of words that he was keenly interested in the nom ination of J. Denny O'Neil for gover nor and that he deslfed them to do what they could for him and also for the nomination of men who would be favorable to the ratification by the legislature of the Prohibition amend ment. The notice was the first to come from the Governor, although for weeks word has been going out from the Governor's offices to line up people for O'Neil. It was simply a family gathering. I invited them to come here and ask ed that they do what they could for the amendment and Mr. O'Neil," said the Governor after it was over. "I hope they will do what they can," he added. The Governor was not expected here to-day. He came here front Pitts burgh instead of going to Philadel phia before going to Reading and after telling of the great Interest which he thought the people were showing in the campaign gave his talk. While the Governor was telling his desires, committees were covering the Capitol seeking contributions from Dauphin countians for the O'Neil campaign fund. Even the stenograph ers and women clerks were not" ex empt. They were told that contri butions would be "appreciated." Some snags were struck, notably at the State Insurance Fund where one ot the "salary tappers" was told that the employes preferred to have State Treasurer Kephart, chairman of the board which runs the fund, give the orders and not outsiders. "Bert" Thomas and 'Lou" Irwin, a couple of clerks, were active In mak ing up the lists, it is understood. Thomas declared, when asked about his activities that it was "all a fig menijßt aome reporter's mind," and that "newspapermen's fertile brains" were responsible for the stories.
